It easily triggers the corruption of opened files. On a default OS X installation, the machine won't come up again without user interaction, resulting in a loss of all services hosted on this machine for a potentially long time.

You mention "default install" -- is it even possible to get a mac to autoreboot after a panic w/o rebuilding a kernel from source? I thought there was a while(1) at the end of panic()...

Hardware watch-dog (which is not part of "default installation") can do this.
